To the OUeeU.

The banquet at the Saratoga last night
under the auspices of the St. Georges
Society in celebration of the Victorian
Jubilee, was happy reunion of those
who in a distant land cherish fondly
the memories which cling to their birth
place and honor most deeply the home
of their fathers. If it is the glory of
America that she binds in one common
love of herself the sons of hundred ma
tions, the children of other lands make
the better citizens when they look fond
est t. the soil of their nativity or the
skies which are bluest of all because I'M
der them their sires first drew breath.
If we are different from the loyal sub
jects of the Queen of England, it is due
more to the transformation wrought by
circumstance and changed surroundings
than by blood. The citizens of this great
republic will always be essentially Eng
lish-if we are cosmopolitan in our well
come to all and our acceptance of the
universal brotherhood of mankind, it
will be the worse for us when we are
less English in our unbending strength
of character-our stout resistance to all
tyranny, our eternal assertion of individ-
ual freedom, and proud obedience to
law. Many of us are only separated
from English parentage by a generation
or two, many have drawn from moth
er's lips the love of our cOuntry's mother.
With whatever of honor to the Queen
the festive occasion expressed we are in
hearty accord. The invitation to attend
was one we grieve1 to decline, and if the
loyal subject no longer bends his knee to
the sovereign as his fathers did, the
heart of every man must reverence the
royalty of the pure woman and the
majesty of her gracious motherhood.
Therefore, while our fellow citizens sing
"God Save the Queen" we pray in all
sincerity God bless the noble woman
who happens to be queen, and grant her
to the end of her days, peace for her peo-
DIe and love from her children

A Obstructive Snow Slide.

The most destructive slide / remember
was one that came down upon the Sheri-
dan and MandOta mines near the top OF
the range that rises above Ouray. 1t
carried away tine kitchen and bunk house
of the men, and covered fifteen miners.
Some who escaped came down TO Ouray
on snow shoes over perilous trail, run
ming nearly all the way along precipices,
and overhung with cliffs, bearing tremb-
ling masses of snow, threatening other
slides They begged us for help to dig
out their imprisoned comrades. We sent
a party up ON snow shoes Immediately,
eight of the nerviest men in the camp.
They got up to the mines safely and dug
out the bodies and two live men. Then
they put seven Of the dead men into sleds,
and with the rescued men started back to
Ouray, party of fifteen.
They were half way down when another
slide came down ON the trail and swept
away sleds, corpses and rescuers- There
was a space fifty feet wide from the trail
to the brink of a canyon, over eighty feet
deep. Some of the men were released by
the snow before they We're carried to the
edge of the gulf, but most of them, with
all the sled bearers, went over and down
upon the deep snow at the bottom. Not
one of that party was killed, although
they were somewhat bruised, and they
all, singly or in small parties, made Their
way back to Ouray within the next three
days. The corpses lay embalmed in the
snow until spring, when the thawing OF
the snow made them visible. They were
then brought down to Ouray and buried

from which they take home its vices

malicious, nor jealous, nor disloyal.
They are not intolerant, even. at least if
no outside cause comes to wound their
pride, which il all the more touciy as il
LAS no justification. Bat the Turks are
hsusiitE-vc-y unconscious of it, how
overland are ignorant To a degree that
they do rot even suspect. Their fanatic

tian festivals; as far as they are con-
cerned. all this has no existence. They
pass to one side; they see it, but do not
look at it. Their fanaticisn, which in
reality asks for nothing more than To be
allowed to slumber as they do themselves,
Is awakened only by wound to the
Mussulmanic pride. by n palpaLlc and
visible insult given to their bcliefs.
Christian priests can traverse streets
with their insignia and their sacertlotal
costumes, preceded and followed by their
dcvOtccs, carrying banners, wax candles
and crosses. and singing with all their
might. The Turks would not get angry
at tl,is any more than they would at n
They even praise their musicians and
their drums at the funerals of bishops
and the professions OF Corpus Christi,
and nothing is more curious than the
sight Of Turkish soldiers, in full uniform,
following with the most profound re-
spcct the crucifix and the holy sacra-
ment.
But let Christian take it into his head
to enter one of their mosques without
their authority and without submitting to
all the ceremonial of AIusselmanc humil
ity, and they will drive him out in
brutal manner. This is not intolerance;
it is obedience to the principle that every
man is master e his own house; and we
may lie certain that when the so-called
Turkish fanslticiSTn has inflicted severe
punishment upon European scoffers, or
upon persons that are too inquisitive, it is
not always the Turk that began the quar-

Chinese, the three Vedias of the Hindoos,
the Zendavesta. and the Scriptures of the
Christians. The Koran is not older than
the seventh century of our era The
Edda5 of the Scandinavians were pub
lished in the eleventh century, and are
the most recent of these seven Bibles
Tho Pitikos of the Buddhists contain sub
lime morals and pure aspirations; their au-
thor lived and died i'll the seventh century
before Christ. The sacred writings of
the Chinese are called the Five Kings,
king meaning web of cloth or the warp

They contain the best sayings of the best
sa@cs On the ethicopolitical duties of life.
These savings cannot be traced to period
higher than the eleventh century Ii. &.

books of the Hintloos, and it is the opin-

We have already expressed our views
and fears as to the location of the bridge
and have been cited to no new facts or
statements which would make a change
of opinion necessary. But the following
received last evening will correct an err
roneous impression which has been gem
orally quoted:
mo one has any authority for saying
that 1 object to a bridge from Harris
Point to our premises at the foot of
Laurel street. When asked the naked
question if 1 would object, 1 re-
piled that l shouldrequire further in
formation before answering the question;
since then l have heard nothing except
what / have seen in the papers. i should
like to have this fact known to all who
are interested in the matter and espe-
cially to THE NEWS.
&c. w. BENTLEY"
With regard to the following we only
say that we have never implied that
1.-THE Florida Southern Railway had a
monopoly of Main street and the riparian
right attached thereto" We said, and
still believe, that the location of the
bridge will give a monopoly of the ship
ping to the property belO,c, and there
fore wish it placed Adore our water
| front, SO that the privileges now enjoyed
by the owners of all riparian property
shall continue free and untrammelled.
The following is from one of our most
respected citizens, and his views will
have weight with all of us. We differ
with him, but we are glad to lay his
opinions and conclusions before our
readers, as well as others given in the
| same unselfish spirit
You are in error IN your editorial of
the 21st instant in stating that the Flor
ida Southern Railway had monopoly of
Main street and the riparian right at
tached thereto. BY contract ordinance
they have only the right of way in COM
mon with the public. If the bridge for
railway, vehicles and foot passengers
should connect at this point, Palatka
might expect through the influence and
control of the Florida Southern Railway
to have full access to port of entry at
St. Augustine and not be confined Il
Jacksonville. The freer and fuller ac-
cess Palatka has to ocean commerce the
better. If the bridge should be put un-
der the control of the jacksonville
Tampa and Key West Railway the in
terests of that company would not in
duce her to divert trade to the ocean AT
ST. Augustine. River navigation would
not materially be affected by the one
position of the bridge more than by the
other There is more room on Main
street for access to the bridge and more
room for all things incidental thereto
than at the foot of Laurie
street. There would not be
the great change in position of business
as supposed by many. Such has not beer
the effect at other places. BY having
this bridge to cross to a point north OF
the cove, better access would be has
to the country across the river. Tbs

will make no apology for nv intru-
sion other than your invitation that all
interested IN the proposed bridge over
the st. Johns to Palatka, should have
hearing.
Three years since a route was surveyed
between St. Augustine and Palatka,
which contemplated possible connection
by bridging the river. After many at
tempts, the preference was given to the
location of the bridge at the point known
as the DEVILS Elbow" The grounds
assigned were: LIST. The narrowness of
the river-about half a mile wide. I'd.
The bluff ON the east side, some twenty
five feet high. would render a draw UNI
necessary and diminish the expense of
the Railroad Company. 81. The pas
sage of the railroad through the suburbs
of Palatka, would tend to build up that
portion. 4th. The leaving of the water
front of Palatka, already insufficient,
unaltered.
There would needs be a trestle on the
western or Palatka side of the river, but
the bridge and trestle together would not
equal the length of the bridge at Pa
latka, and as steamers could pass under
the bridge. no delay would be expert
enced. Add 10 this the firm nature of
the ground, in contrast with the con-
slant shifting of the sandbars at Harris
Point, and the advantages would seem
to be in favor of the Elbow"

The I.rahmin's Poetic Language.

The Tamil Brahmins have peculiarly
poetic language, and though their ideas
are not always poetical, yet they are gen.
orally picturesque. The insect kingdom
is the human world in disguise, and &C
cordinSiy they call the bee a Brahmin
from its selfish exclusiveness and its dis
like to insects other than bees; the wasp is
the videGar, or Priest; the 6rassliopper and
locust, soldiers, from their destructive
qualities; a large insect, being a species of
glow worm, n cowherd or milkman; tho
mosquito and the flea. household servants;
the bug. a doctor; the butterfly, a Brah-
min woman, and the horsefiy, a dog.
And, in conclusion, should any of my
readers ever desire the speedy departure
of Brahmin from his house, 1 have but
to say let him call into the room a dog
for to pure Brahmin a dog or fowl is
as much an adherence as is a hog to an
orthodox Hebrew or to faithful followers
of Mohammed.-SanF Francisco Chronicle.
